The Obama administration has shut down NASA's programs to continue human expansion. Although this discourages the public and decreases interest in space exploration, this gives us another benefit. All over the world, private industries are looking to the stars; There are scientists looking for new fuels and technologies. There are companies with very original ideas, like ships that carry space shuttles to the equator for launching. Many companies and universities are developing plans for space stations and lunar modules. The future looks very bright for these private industries.
